The railroad companies are recall
ing all passes, including editorial
passes issued for value received by
them from the several newspapers Of
the state in advertising their roads.
But since. rs they claim. there are not
so many millions in the railroad bust
.nass since the enactment of the inter
state commerce law the companies
deem themselves justified in rescind-
ing at will specific bona tide contracts.
But we don't, and we believe our
opinion is supported by public senti-
ment, and by the right of justice.

It may be asserted, in a general way
that wherever in the United States
you do not find dsncing ysu find kiss
ing. In communities where danci e
was disapproved have seen "string
g,mes' called for and carried into
practice at entertainments in school
houses. and even at church socia-
bles. In such places church members
and, for aught know, deacons-take
part, ia the amusement; and / have
seen it develop a freshness, 20 to
speak, ia griZzled men which made
them, one would think anything
but beguiling to the young and
fair. Among those of earlier years
kissing becomes in such communities
a systematic pursuit, like hunting or
fishing. Young girls whose parents
object to it are aegie cted or disllked j;
young man in such a village told
friend of mine. with some indigm..
ton, that she was the only girl in
town whom, he had rot kissed. 1t is
of no use to object to it as immoral
where the church members are COM
United to it. Perhaps it cannot he
called immoral; bit when society has
reached a certain stage of refinement
these games vanish. The symbol OF
that increased refinement is usually
dancing. Dancing, whatever it's draw.
backs, serves practically as an anti.
dote to kissing games; where one
begins the other dies out. They do
not seem to flourish side by side; at
any rate, people rarely go back from
dancing TO kissing. Granting, for the
sake of argument, that it is necessary
to have some amusement. the choice
lies, in our villages and their scatter
ed families, between these two forms
of relaxation. Which is the better of
the two!-- ITarper's Bazaar.

opposed to cremation On general prin-
ciples; but we are opposed to the kind
of cremation which desecrates six.
mon ths'.old graves for the purpose of
securing bodies to experiment with.
The disgusting performance we repro.
bated in Sundays issue is a kind OF
ere nation we are not only opposed to,
but is an infraction of the common
dec encies which we would gladly see
the law severely punish. The Times,
says that the lady, whose body was dug
up and burned six months after it had
been consigned to the earth, expressed
a desire before her death that her
remains should be thus disposed of.
But if in order to carry out her wish, it
became necessary to outrage public de.
cency, that wish should have been as
much disregarded as if she had signi-
fed desire that her body should be
dissected in the market.place. We
clea rly explained our views on the sub
ject of cremation in Sundays HERALD.
1t is, in our judgment, the proper way
to dispose of the dead in crowded coun-
tries. But in the United States, out
side of the large cities, there is no
pressing necessity for reviving the
funeral customs of pagan Rome. Pub
lie Sc ntiment and the circumstances OF
localities should control the disposition
of the bodies of the dead.

TALK of production in Southern
California! We are at all times of the
year importing large amounts OF butter
and cheese from the northern counties
of the State. When Los Angeles and
the other counties in this section shall
all be brought under cultivation, when
small farms and diversified products
come to be the rule here, we shall have
an abundance not only for home use,
but a surplus for shipment to less favored
parts of the Union. At this moment
apricots are being brought into this city
from Santa Clara county to
supply the tables of Los Angelehos.
Now the sun does not shine on more
ge nerous region for the production OF
fruit than here in Southern California
The apricot in particular fourishes here
as well as 1t does in any of the counties
of the State. Ventura is perhaps the
best region on the coast for the cultiva-
ton of this superb fruit. These are but
two of very many lines in which Los
Angeles imports supplies for home use
which should by all means be produced
at home, and have a large surplus fol
export besides.
